Full race of mens coxless pairs A Final
This was recorded from BBC coverage, commentators were Daniel Topolski and Gary Herbert
Rowing held at Penrith lakes with lane 6 nearest camera
The French had put in a storming last 500m in the semi-final. Here they very bravely started that sustained high rate push at 750m still to go, The stroke man Jean-Cristophe Rolland is currently (2021) the head of the World rowing federation (FISA)
I had put a treble bet on at the bookies, that GB would win the gold in the 2-, 4- and 8. It was all going well in this race until that French push !!!
